okayyyy ... I see now.... I always assumed that the most experienced started the race and the fastest ran anchor....

it can be given to both but usually its earned through experience, ala a slow carl lewis who didnt even make the us team 100m for Barcelona running the anchor leg, or asafa powell in beijing even though bolt was faster.:ehh:

even in swimming, remember that relay race with phelps? a old man jason lezak swam anchor. however this olympics phelps swam the anchor in the 4x200

angelo taylor although old has 3 olympic gold medals, and has run the 400m under 44 seconds, he has run though 3 races (heat, semis, finals) for 400m hurdles and so he was probably drained he did his best, he only lost by a second.

Watching this France v. Croatia hand ball game, the atmosphere is crazy. The French are going HAM(on the court and in the stands).
